The Palestinian student struggling to go to uni in London

Available for over a year

13 London MPs are amongst more than 100 that are calling on the government to help students from Gaza access places at British universities for the upcoming academic year. Currently the conditions in Gaza mean the students - who've won scholarships here in London - are not able to complete biometric checks which are required for visas. BBC London has been speaking to one student, Haia Mohammed who is living in Gaza and has been offered a scholarship at a London university - but isn't able to get here because of the checks required.
